December 11, 20232 yr Using Windows Explorer, is there a faster way to move files between unRaid shares? It seems like every file moves across my wifi, from the server, to my laptop, and then back across wifi to the server. I'm sure this is a windows question but I'm hoping somewhere here can suggest a way to keep the file movement at the server. Thanks in advance.

That should no happen with Windows 8 and newer, it uses Samba server side copy, all transfers are done locally.

Holy cow, you're right. I was using a utility app to do my moving. It appears it was doing a copy & then delete. I switched back to the default windows copy and it's better. Thanks.
